Thermalright HR-03

Rob Williams · 10-03-2006, 09:24 AM

If you haven't heard by now, Thermalright has finally released the long waited VGA cooler HR-03. It can be used to cool passively or actively with a 92mm fan and be installed in one of two ways to best fit your system. It's designed to cool the hottest GPU effortlessly and in pure silence (provided that there's bountiful amount of air movement inside the computer case). What's more is that it is SLI/Crossfire compatible.

I have to say, I am not much into passive coolers, but this one looks rather interesting. I wonder how difficult it is to install. Especially with all those fins... you'd want to be careful.

It looks like it could double as a radiant room heater. That's a huge GPU HSF.
